After a 3 hour ride home (we even left early to try to avoid rush hour traffic--I'm thankful that 4/5 slept nearly the entire ride home), we celebrated with a meal of her request. She wanted chicken, carrots and broccoli with dip, french fries, strawberries, and cheesecake. (I think I got everything!)

Then she opened presents!

Carina is a very neat eater and does not like anything out of place..last year I joked that since she asked for napkins so much I was going to buy her napkins for her birthday.
